Paralyzed and confined to a wheelchair, beautiful young Penny Appleby visits her father's French Riviera villa for the first time since his second marriage; she meets her stepmother, Jane; Dr. Gerrard, her father's friend, and Bob, her father's chauffeur. Penny is told her father is away on business, but she is terrorized by the mysterious reappearance, in various places in the villa, of his dead body. Jane and Dr. Gerrard try to persuade Penny she is having hallucinations. Bob, in whom she confides, tells Penny he believes Jane is trying to drive the girl mad so that she can inherit. Jane and Bob celebrate the night Penny, a helpless passenger, rolls over a cliff in her car. Next morning, however, police inform the couple that only the body of Penny's father less passenger, rolls over a cliff in her car. Jane returns to the villa to find Penny, still alive, seated in her wheelchair on the cliff terrace. Bob later tries one last desperate gamble for the fortune that was almost his.
